| As other recent reviewers have commented, a tasteful refit and good beer selection make this nice little pub well worth a visit. A massive improvement on the old pub. Of course the limited lager choice will probably deter the young crowd, which may be no bad thing. The menu looks interesting, tho' I've not tried it yet. MrBlue - 5 Jan 2010 17:38 |
| Agree, with ROBCamra, it's certainly worth more than 4.8. Presumably many of those scores were from before it's refurbishment when a lower score may well have been valid going on some of the earlier comments. Perhaps BITE ought to have a mechanism for resetting scores when pubs are refurbished, or maybe just discount older scores as landlords change all the time. Anyhow, it seems like a great pub, done out in the traditional gastropub manor with green paint, pine floors and chunky farmhouse tables. There are also some natural stone walls which are a nice touch. It comparitively quiet on a recent Friday night, unlike many of the other pubs nearby which seemed to be rammed. It was nice to get a table and be able to hear yourself talk. Beers were Cotswold Way, Potholer, Butcome and Butcome Christmas Steps. It looks as though they may also do London Pride although this was off when we visited. Cider was Ashton Press and the only lager was something called Veltins which my wife assured me was very pleasant. It's got to be better than the usual Fosters, Kronenbourg etc. that you get everywhere else. Blackthorn - 5 Dec 2009 18:01 |
| This is a pretty basic open plan bar with a further larger area to the rear up 4 steps. It’s very clean and tidy both inside and out and has obviously been done up quite recently. 5 handpumps serving Butcombe bitter, London Pride, Kingstone Gold and Wickwar Cotswold Way. They also had a 5th beer which I tried first, it was total sludge, so I can’t even remember what it was supposed to be. It was changed with an apology and I had a Kingstone instead which was very nice. It was very quiet when we went in mid afternoon on a Wednesday, but it was very pleasant. It's better than it's 4.8 rating on here. ROBCamra - 6 Nov 2009 16:01 |
| This has recently been refurbished and reopened. Now is a Guest House with a bar below, with lots of choice of Real Ales! Very friendly when I went in, looks like they do good food too. A completely different pub! michellet - 28 Sep 2009 11:48 |
| Not much choice of beer. Very much a spot for the older set, but friendly enough. I'd probably try somewhere else. MrBlue - 18 Jun 2008 19:03 |
